The Mexican National Team avoided speculation and went out to the Azteca Stadium on Wednesday night to win with category against El Salvador. It was a 2-0 with a special performance by Uriel Antuna who took advantage of the opportunity that Gerardo Martino gave him to be a starter.
The ‘Tata’ surprised with Antuna’s movement as a right winger instead of ‘Tecatito’ Corona and this footballer became the figure of the match. He even opened the scoring with a great goal at the minute 17.
“The goal was clear, to get to Qatar no matter what, and thank God we did it. I am calm waiting for those opportunities, I knew that at any moment it could come, I am calm because I know that at some point that opportunity will come and I have to be ready for when they give it to me, ”he declared in TUDN.
He knows and understands his role, that’s why when he comes off the bench or receives an opportunity like that, he takes advantage of it. In addition, they put him together with his friend Alexis Vega, with whom he already shared a team in Chivas de Guadalajara.
“We were always in our mentality, so that was our goal regardless of whether he won or not the United States, we come to do our job and qualify more than anything, in the end we end up with the same points as Canada”, he stressed.
In addition, he made self-criticism about things that the team led by ‘Tata’ Martino must adjust for the World Cup that will start in November.
